[poem] (I'm gonna let it shine)

I will burn.
I will burn for who I am
and I will be a beacon.
I will burn with rage
and light up skies
with starfire, eye-searing
incandescence, a guiding
pillar of flame.
I will be lighthouse.
I will burn warning.
I will burn jubiliation,
firework-bursts of fierce joy.
O ye dispossessed, take heart:
I shall light for ye a path.
I shall consume.
(I shall consume the dark.)
And I will say: this
I would choose again.
I choose. I choose, and choose to burn.
